AURA daily user retention is off the charts. The most important metric when building a startup.

New Wilder World six month roadmap launching this week, followed by major announcement next week. Notifications on.

my quant

It's going to be a big week: - New Wilder World release with item customization for wheels, weapons and gear from Packs. - First version of Wilder Web / Shanty Town with targeting over 1,000 live agents. - First version of AURA's automated coding and agent spawning system. 🦾

Shanty Town. The first district in Wilder Web.

We are pushing hard in March to release Wilder Web, which will then be followed by our own Wilder World mobile version. This will connect the entire game economy across multiple layers in what is called S3L (The Shared Simulation State Layer). This handles rapid state updates across Unreal Engine, Web, and Mobile. It will be a permissionless and public layer that anyone can build on and deploy agents on. S3L sits on top of Metropolis, which is the economic and onchain gameplay layer that lives natively on Z Chain. In addition to improving the core game experience for players, we are simultaneously making all of our projects agent native. This can scale up the metaverse and economy fast. A future where millions of agents transacting, interacting, coordinating, and performing economic activity is close.

Quick Update: [Wilder World]: - Final destination for our first $100K tournament will be announced soon. - Focus remains on keeping lobbies full in NA and Europe; major improvements expected this week. - Prioritizing density in NA/EU servers to avoid fragmentation and improve player experience. - Two releases shipped in the first two weeks; rapid iteration will continue. - Several product launches planned this year: avatar creator, wheels garage, loadouts/gun customizer, Racing 2.0, Wiami (dot) fun, plus new characters, guns, gear, and levels. - Targeting a playable open-world preview by year-end (no guarantees, but pushing hard). - Developing new strategies to drive DAUs and onchain activity. - TikToks are gaining traction; Operation Wildfire off to a strong start. - Daily check-ins and XP missions coming soon to boost retention and engagement. - Packs launching soon to drive recurring revenue and put deflationary pressure on WILD via Metropolis. - Final Metropolis smart contract upgrades imminent—WILD becomes deflationary, reducing total supply. - WILD holding stable at ~rank 290 on CMC with several $20M+ daily volume spikes—strong momentum without Tier 1 listings. - Active discussions with all Tier 1 exchanges; high confidence here. - Excited for Wiami.fun to drive both WILD volume and on-chain metrics. - Expanding WILD cross-chain with more DeFi integrations and support for new chains / ecosystems. [ZERO + Z Chain]: - Shipping new features rapidly. - Deeper Wilder World integration in progress: in-game chat for coordination, plus Z Wallet features to buy/earn/spend WILD. - Token launcher nearly ready—anyone can launch and trade tokens on Z Chain. - Token rankings (like Dexscreener/CMC) coming, with Z Chain to start and multi-chain support in future. - Z Chain DEX (Uniswap V3-based) close to launch for fast token swaps. - Secure voice calls almost live—major step toward ZERO as a primary messaging app. - ZNS migration with Z Wallet integration days away—you will be able to use your MEOW to register domains on Z Chain (fast). - New mobile-first onboarding flow will simplify signup for new users. - Working on increasing transaction speed. Should increase significantly soon. - Ethereum x Z Chain bridge launching soon for seamless asset transfers. The TLDR is that we're focused on: 1. Token performance 2. DAW growth 3. Revenue growth This will be achieved by continuing to improve the products, the onchain economy, as well as growth hacking.

This will be simultaneously the most ghetto thing we've ever launched, and will generate the most amount of revenue for WILD holders. I believe it can generate billions and redefine how games reward creators, while having a lot of fun. This is not a gimmick. We are coming for pump.fun. Why trade air when you can trade community created virtual assets with real memetic reach, utility, and visual quality, inside the metaverse, and on any DEX.

Wilders: When we become the number one gaming project, there will be many foes and fudders who emerge from the woodwork. Forgive them, but do not forget.

It took many years to get ZERO to this point but it is in the process of achieving escape velocity.

Lefty is such a legend. The main UI designer working on Wilder World & ZERO. I believe he was the first person to join the team full-time, outside Frank, Phoenix, Freedom, Joel and I. The man just knows how to cook 🧑‍🍳. @lefty_wilder

Thoughts on Agents and AI: 1. Most of what we are seeing currently with the agent meta is essentially the same as the meme coin meta, but with a shinny new narrative. It's the same group of people, traders and speculators. The same money just moved from one sector to the next. 2. All of the stuff that's actually hard about making agents is done by legitimate companies (not in crypto). These are your frontier model companies (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI, Meta, etc.) and chip manufacturers (NVIDIA), and scalable inference providers (groq, AWS, etc.). 3. The main Agentic framework is open source (Eliza), and the open source models have gotten quite good, are widely accessible and relatively cheap to run. Building your own Agentic framework from scratch will put you at a significant disadvantage over just using Eliza or one of the similar variants. 4. Value creation != value capture. Virtuals for instance has 'pump dot funified' their business model, and therefore is actually making serious cash. Given point 2, projects using open source stuff made by other companies mostly (...and with AGI not far away), most projects that do not achieve a sustainable and significant network effect will not survive as soon as the meta shifts. This is not to say agents are not revolutionary and will become the dominant form of user interaction in the future (I believe this is likely). What I am saying is that the technology will be commoditized and the actual value will be in the network effect, business model, and distribution. Yes, of course we are working on AI and agents (everyone is), but being thoughtful and patient about these things will determine the winners.
